Discussions within the industry over the past two years have shown that the glass industry is on the move and must face up to global challenges in order to remain sustainably marketable in the future.
The challenges:
Climate protection - How can the glass industry reduce emissions? Which legal requirements must we prepare for? What improved energy concepts are there?
Resources efficiency - Whicht measures must be taken to make optimum use of the resources (skilled) personnel, materials and energy?
Urbanisation - How can products made of glass help cover the construction, communication and mobility needs of a growing population in metropolitan areas?
Value creation - What changes does the glass industry need as it moves from a purely profit to a people orientation and ultimately to sustainable and resilient value creation?
Wellbeing - Which contribution can glass products make to improving the quality of life in terms of safety, comfort, daylight and overall wellbeing?
